Even though the Garlic Jr Saga is nothing compared to the Frieza Saga it doesn't mean it is bad. This saga is probably the most interesting one. I knew exactly what to expect in the Trunks Saga. Gohan kicks some but in this video. Garlic Jr has a bad laugh. The Spice Boys seem strange, but don't get me wrong that doesn't mean they are weak. Krillin was pathetic in this video. Vegeta continues his search for Goku. Piccolo shows no mercy to Gohan. The last episode was a surprise. This is worth getting.

I suppose some people who are into DBZ will like any tape that comes out but this one was just kind of boring. The action wasn't the best and the villian just wasn't as threatening as some of the others you have seen on DBZ. This was lacking the normal DBZ content where you get to really know characters, Garlic Jr. was just proved to be annoying. Even when Vegita was fighting in the Saiyan Saga you had to say "He's pretty cool..." or like with Freeza you just hated him so much you wanted him to die but with Garlic Jr it's just boring.

This saga was really short, lasting only a couple of episodes. Although it was kinda nice to see a lot more action with Piccolo, Gohan and Krillin, because Goku had just defeated the previously strongest fighter in the universe.

The plot needed some more development, and you won't really know much about Garlic Jr. unless you view the film "Dead Zone", which explains a lot about his past and why he wants revenge on Gohan.

Otherwise, this saga is okay, for the Trunks saga follows this one.

with gohan and piccolo getting it on and krillen get beat up, what more could you ask for?oops, there goes krillen, infected by the black water mist, now it's only gohan and 2 of the spice boys are dead. very good 3 episodes best of the saga.

I Love the Garlic jr Saga For many reasons but the biggest one is that for the first time you see the Z Fighters in Action and Fighting to their fullest power Without Goku to step in and do all the work. I like Goku But it gets really old when he is always the Hero. It Is fun to see him be the main Hero in some of the sagas but it is WAAAAAAAAAY better to see the Whole Team of Z Fighters at Work on the Villains because all their powers are matched up and it is all the Z Fighters in the fight going toe to toe standing face to face and clashing fist to fist with a new clip load of villains whos' powers are matched up with the Z Fighters with the villains out to destory the earth. This is one of the best sagas of DBZ EVER and the only saga without Goku comming to the rescue. It's everyman for himself and everyone (the villains and the heros) are powered up to the Max and ready to Bring It On Because there is no Strongest fighter and a bunch of weak fighters. Everyone is the Strongest Fighter and the Strongest one of the Strongest is the last man standing when the dust clears.

This vhs contains 3 episodes:

Episode 96: Fight With Piccolo: Krillin and Gohan arrive at the Lookout and find the evil Garlic Jr., a brutal warrior who Gohan trapped long ago in his own trap, and his henchmen, The Spice Boys! But as Gohan and Krillin prepare for battle, Piccolo steps up to challenge the two, for he has been infected by the evil of the Black Water Mist...and is now a servent for Garlic Jr.! Can they win?

Episode 97: Call For Restoration: Gohan is in trouble as Piccolo, now infected by the Black Water Mist, is acting as Garlic Jr.'s henchman. But when Piccolo bites Krillin.... Gohan finds himself against two freinds: Krillin and Piccolo! Now that Gohan is alone and outmatched...is there any hope for the world?

Episode 98: Suicidal Course: As Gohan can't stand one blow from Piccolo and Krillin, the two reveal that they only were acting to be under the control of the Black Water Mist! As they temporaily take out the diabolical Spice Boys, Garlic Jr. might actully outmatched! But when using the Mayko Star, he draws power and transforms into a hideous,brutal giant! It now might seem that the combined force of Piccolo,Krillin and Gohan might not be enough to stop the dark tryant from ruling the world!

well if youve ever watched the movie special "Dead Zone" then you know who garlic jr is because i think Akira wanted to add a litte something extra to kill time or otherwise. well basically galic comes back and tried to take the guardian status away from Kami. of cource thats where our young hero Gohan and Krillin comes in. its rather good as far as the DBZ episodes go. if you own any previous ones, then you should own this one. actually you gotta like DBZ enough to own any of its DVD episodes so be sure you catch this one

Well...here we are with the second volume of a 10-episode arc that really serves no purpose to the plot of the series. It's not present in the comics, Goku's not present, all of the heroes seem a lot weaker than they should be...there's a lot wrong with these episodes, but I won't get into everything here. Suffice it to say that they really aren't worth watching in Japanese, let alone English. While the later Afterlife Tournament has some redeeming qualities despite its plot holes, these episodes just reek of filler pointlessness.

You're better off just skipping to the Trunks episodes. Preferably on DVD.

This video is the best one out of DBZ videos iv seen. Like the other person said i cant wait till the next one. The spice boys can be hard but can they beat them? Can they spread the sacred water in time? You will just have to find out.Plus the preview of Trunks is awsome.
